Meghan Markle reveals the one thing she's happy living without as a Duchess

But now, after marrying into the British Royal Family, the new Duchess of Sussex has had to give it all up but says letting go of one thing in particular has actually been 'freeing'.

Speaking to those involved in the OneWave Fluro Friday experience at Sydney's Bondi Beach, the 37-year-old told local Jessina Oakes, 26, she doesn't miss social media at all.

"She said a really beautiful quote. She said 'flattery and criticism run through the same filter'," Jessina told Hello magazine.

"She said it was very freeing that she no longer has social media. And just how great One Wave is making those connections with people and being able to support one another."

Meghan had 1.9 million followers on Instagram and it's believed Prince Harry sneakily appeared on there shortly before the account was shut down (Instagram)

Aiming to use her star-status for good, Meghan often posted about her work with UN Women's campaign, adopting dogs as she had done and her personal passions, such as food and travel were also reflected in her feed and blog posts.

The Duchess has been able to bring some of those passions into the Royal household.

It's understood Prince Harry and Meghan have adopted a dog together, who lives with them at Kensington Palace.

Then, the Duchess launched her first solo project, a cookbook aiding the community affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.

Clearly now as a Royal, Meghan has a much bigger platform than 1.9 million followers and she appears to be keen to make the most of it.

Despite not being on social media, the Duchess still had her phone close to hand as the newlyweds wrapped up their day in Melbourne.

As the couple were about to board the plane back to Sydney Meghan was seen holding her phone alongside her clutch, something that surprised many Royal watchers as it's not usually the done thing.

Prince Harry too was spotted with his mobile phone in his pocket as the pair arrived in Dubbo.

Maybe they're just checking the Royal Family's WhatsApp group chat? That would be a thread we'd love to see!
